well iv just taken him off and my nipple is bleeding, when i latched him on i tryed to force everything in to his mouth. i thought he was on ok, it looked ok, but hurt like hell!! X X X

Hun this sounds completely normal to me - every feed was like that with Brody in the beginning. He looked latched on properly etc and the MW said he was - but it just hurt like hell!! He even used to puke up blood from my nipple!

I promise it gets better

I used to try and wait til his mouth was really wide open but he'd never bloody open it wide enough! Then if I took too long he'd scream at me cos he was hungry so I'd usually just shove it in and hope for the best hehehe

I was exactly the same. Lansinoh cream is absolutly FAB at healing cracked nipples and there is no need to wash it off before feeds. try getting better positioning and i promise you the first week or so is def the hardest but its well worth persivering.

I totally remember this. I got sooooo frustrated because he just WOULD NOT open wide. And yes then the screaming, but you know, when they scream, their mouth is wide open, so just take the opportunity and latch them on mid scream If it's milk they want they will start sucking and be ok
